Okay guys.
I know this Shashwat college tournament
is not as big or as cool as TOC but...
Why are you looking at me like that?
Is there something on my face?
Jo, who was that guy?
-Who? -The one who
came to your house to ask you for money.
How do you guys know about that?
We came up to apologise to you for the Wolf Clan prank
and we heard you guys talking.
Sorry.
What is wrong, Jo? Are there some money problems?
If I don't get my money in the next 48 hours,
you will have to drop the gamer from Gamerlog.
Understand?
I started this team with my savings.
From when I was with Wolf Clan.
But that wasn't enough.
And I needed more money.
To buy equipment, pay the flat rent,
your stipends, Major's salary, supplies...
I didn't know what else to do.
So...
I took a loan.
From the bank?
You think banks give loans to gamers?
No way.
I...
took money from a loan shark.
I knew he was shady
but I didn't have any other option.
I thought if the team had the right backing,
we would win more tournaments
and gradually I could pay off my debts.
I was wrong, and...
Now I have 48 hours till everything goes to shit.
And how much do we owe this dude?
25 Lakhs.
I have already returned 5 Lakhs out of that.
So, for now,
we just need 20 Lakhs.
We are screwed.
No, not yet.
The prize money for the Shashwat College Tournament is 5 Lakhs.
And Alex has agreed to that amount for the time being.
As long as we pay him back from the money that we win at TOC.
But...
To make money from TOC, we need to win TOC first.
Look, the Shashwat Tournament will be easy.
Wolf Clan won't be there,
so who is the highest ranking team there?
Us.
Actually, he is right.
This should be a cakewalk, guys.
Look, if we just play with a bit more spirit,
we will definitely win.
I have a really good feeling about this, guys.
So, let's go out there
and show everyone
we aren't just some nobodies.
We are Gamerlog.
Sis, get ready to witness our strength.
5 Lakhs! Here we come!
Oscar Wilde said,
"Confidence is good,"
"but overconfidence"
"always sinks the ship."
To hell with this,
this was pointless.
No co-ordination, zero communication,
delayed reaction time. Were all of you operating at 0.5 speed?
What happened Laal Saand? Forgot to drink your energy drink?
Hey beanpole, don't act like it's all our fault.
Me, Saurabh, Jaggi, Raghu, and Mahesh!
We all shit the bed, okay?
For once just stop talking shit man!
Hey, you stop thinking that you are better than all of us.
Understand?
I will slap you so hard
that your teeth will fall off one-by-one.
You will slap me? Why don't you just try?
Guys! Guys! Cool it.
There is no point to fighting amongst ourselves.
Jo, if we lost here
then we have no scope of winning at TOC.
Is nobody thinking straight?
That's it. Walk it off.
Go. Go, go.
-Go. -Go.
Go play with your bananas and your eggs.
Enough.
Jo?
Joanna.
What will we do now?
-Lalit? -Let's just go.
Brother, give me a cigarette
and matches too.
Listen up, Hostel six residents.
Tonight's feast
will be sponsored by your seniors.
The non-veg lovers are all sorted.
Goat, fish, chicken...
What do you want?
-We have it all, right? -Yeah.
Come on, that is the least we can do for our juniors.
Of course, bro.
Now do you want me to feed every single one of you?
Eat, motherfuckers.
Go ahead. Eat kids.
I can't eat this.
Why?
Do you have haemorrhoids?
Look, I have an upset stomach.
***.
Is your brain faulty too?
Do you see Sunny here?
He does bicep curls with dumbbells that are as heavy as you.
Want to fight him?
Leave him alone, man.
Seems like these guys have found themselves a gang leader.
Bobby.
Are you getting cocky?
You think you're some hot shit?
You are still in your diapers
and you are talking shit to me?
I won't say it again,
back off!
Sunny, beat him up.
Macha.
Thanks, man.
Thanks for saving me.
Chill dude.
What else are roommates for?
Are you okay?
Cheers.
Macha?
Remember me?
Of course I remember you.
I came to watch the tournament.
In fact, I got my own company now
and we have tie-ups with E-sports companies from time to time.
Not going to lie Mahesh,
I was hoping to meet you today.
It's been a long time, man.
Right.
My team is wating for me. I will see you.
Look, Mahesh,
whatever I saw inside,
it was just really good.
The Gamerlog has the stuff.
I know you lost but you guys have talent.
And some fight too.
And like I said,
I have my own company now.
And we're always looking to tie-up with E-sports teams.
If you or your team have any interest in this proposition,
then hit me up.
I can sort you guys out.
In big ways.
What is this?
Your guilty conscience?
Think of it as a business opportunity.
And if we sort our issues while doing business...
Then it's the cherry on the cake.
Look Mahesh, I...
just want to make things right.
I hope to hear back from you, very soon.
Yeah?
See you.
But Alex, listen to me please...
But... Okay...
Alex has lost the plot.
We have 36 hours
and we need to pay the entire sum of 20 Lakhs.
Where will I get that much money from?
Shit!
Shit, shit, shit.
Shit...
Jo.
I have an idea to help put the money together.
Hey Lalit, moron. Why are you wasting time?
Everyone is waiting. Hurry up.
And by the way,
shotgun backseat!
That's not fair, Jaggi,
why do I have to sit on your lap every single time?
Don't you think I have a comfy lap?
Relax dude, you got too excited last time.
This time I will sit on the seat.
Just think about it practically man,
I definitely can't sit on your lap,
so you will have to sit on mine!
Guys, what is the hold up?
We can't be late, we have to come off as being professionals.
-Let's go. -Yeah. Sorry Jo.
Lalit is the one who was making us late, I told him to hurry up!
Raghu, Mahesh and Saurabh are already in the car.
-Come on, let's go. -Y... Yes sis.
Jaggi, I swear,
if I feel anything this time, I will rip off your tower.
Really? Then go ahead.
What is wrong with this guy?
How are you, Macha?
-Hi. -Hi Joanna, how are you?
Good.
Jaggi.
Thanks so much for taking the time, Dhiraj.
Please. Call me D.
And I should thank you, for showing up.
The Gamerlog is here!
I am a fan.
No cap.
That is really nice of you.
By the way, FYI. It's not 'The' Gamerlog,
it's just Gamerlog.
Damn, bro!
These are the new prototypes?
My man has been tanking up on the carrot juice yo!
I mean...
Sharp eyes, bro.
So, this is exactly what my company does.
Virtual Reality gaming experiences.
And these are our new prototypes.
We set up these centres and we have got
seven different spaces across the country.
And what kind of games do you offer?
Well, we have about...
You know what?
Instead of explaining it, why don't I show it to you?
-Quick game? -No, no.
You really don't have to do that. It's okay.
It's no trouble. Just chill yo.
In fact, if I could I would hold all my meetings while playing the game.
Just think about it,
we will make Masala fry out of zombie brains
and simultaneously discuss the tie-up.
It will be great.
Trust me, there is nothing like VR gaming.
Okay guys, zombie herd incoming. Are we ready?
Ready!
Shit! This door won't open.
Hey, haven't you seen Doya in DIC?
He just breaks down every single door.
Just watch.
Jai Mata Di!
Jo, take left.
Jaggi?
Son of a...
There is a zombie on my back! Lalit, get him off!
Where are you?
Where are you fucker? Get him off!
I feel dizzy.
I feel dizzy guys.
Look Joanna,
And I have gotten in on the ground floor of this skyscraper.
Watch your six!
I have been looking to sponsor a bankable E-sports team for a while now.
This will help increase brand awareness
and build a profile with our target audience.
Enter - The Gamerlog.
My bad. Just Gamerlog.
Zombies eliminated.
Game over.
-Whoa! -Well done, guys.
We successfully defended our base against the zombie horde.
What a game, man.
Insane. Insane game.
So, as I was saying,
you are here today because I want to sponsor your team.
In fact,
I was telling Macha
that I saw a spark in you guys at Shashwat college.
Hey Raghu, are you okay?
I just want to turn this small spark into a giant explosion.
So Joanna,
do we have a deal?
Raghu? You fine?
-What the... -Ew!
You're fine?
Yeah, except the Patras.
Patras?
I think Raghu ate Patras for breakfast today.
Anyway,
my lawyers will mail the sponsorship agreement draft to Joanna.
And I believe, the terms will work in your favour as well.
Thanks Dhiraj.
But...
There was something else we needed to talk about.
Shoot.
Can you give us a bridge loan?
What?
Can you give us a bridge loan?
Consider it an advance,
so that we can cover our expenses until the paperwork is ready.
Bridge loan?
Look Mahesh,
we don't exactly work like that.
But still, what do you have in mind?
20?
20K is cool.
20 Lakhs?
Bro, that is... That is steep.
Seems difficult, man.
You wanted to sort our issues, right?
Of course, man.
That is why I am sponsoring you.
My investors wanted me to partner with a bigger squad,
like the Wolf Clan.
But I chose you guys, Mahesh.
-Because I knew that... -Because you can't afford Wolf Clan.
Those guys turned down 'Tezz' the energy drink, Dhiraj.
So you aren't doing us any favours.
Dhiraj, Gamerlog is worth it.
And I really,
really need this, man.
Just like back then when I needed you.
Mahesh,
I really am sorry for the way I treated you.
It was wrong.
Here's to clearing semester six, man.
I was sure I was going to fail.
I swear.
But we made it, bro.
So, cheers to us?
Cheers Macha. Cheers.
Oh God!
Who is it?
It's that clingy Kavya, dude.
You know why she is only clingy with you, right?
She has mad hots for you, bro.
-Really? -Yeah, I am telling you.
Her?
What is the sex ratio of our batch?
10 boys to 1 girl.
All of the other guys would waste a semester for clingy Kavya,
but you on the other hand.
Idiot.
She is trying to get your attention and you are ignoring her?
Why are you saddling me with this clingy Kavya?
So who do you want to cling to?
No one.
Preksha from H4 or Nidhi from H2?
No one.
Then why don't you get it on with Vijaylaxmi aunty from the mess?
You're an Iyer, she's an Iyer.
You are too drunk.
I am drunk?
But... But seriously, Macha.
What's the problem?
Problem?
There is a problem.
Man...
I need to
tell you something.
But...
you have to promise that you won't judge me.
Of course not, Macha.
Promise.
What is it?
Where are you going?
I am shifting to a different hostel.
Seriously?
Fuck you, man.
Listen, Mahesh,
I am not trying to justify myself.
But I was a different person back then.
You were the first person I told.
And your reaction really hurt me, man.
Because of that, I have not even told anyone about it.
Not even my own team.
Okay, you know what?
I will talk to my finance team
and I will get you that bridge loan by EOD.
Okay?
Okay.
You are right, Mahesh.
The Gamerlog
is worth it.
Thanks Dhiraj.
Phone! I got a phone call.
This is an important work call, sorry.
Boy, you keep practicing.
So talented he is.
Okay? Continue, continue.
Joanna darling, thank you so much for calling.
My sister has come over with my idiot nephew.
And my nephew is suddenly into this new trend of beatboxing.
It sounds like he is farting from his mouth.
Maybe this news will help fix your mood.
You will have your money.
All of it.
I will be receiving it in a few hours, and
I will transfer it to you as soon as it hits my account.
That is my girl!
And I always knew,
whether you believe me or not, I always had faith
that you will pay me back.
And you know, we have a very old account.
Where will you go with my money?
Anyway, I have to go now.
Let me know when you transfer the money, okay?
-Toodles. -Okay, bye.
Bye.
Yes! Yes, no, I am here only.
Jojo.
-Have some. Have it. -No, no, no.
-Come on, have some. -We need to practice.
We can't get rusty, come on guys.
We got our first sponsorship today.
-We have to drink today. Right guys? -Please! One drink.
-Please, all of us. -YOLO.
Just one, have it.
Fine, but just one beer okay?
-Yes, just one. -Cheers Jo.
-Cheers guys. -Cheers sis.
What happened last night?
I am guessing we didn't stop at one beer.
The number you are trying to call is currently not reachable.
Pick up the call, man.
Hey sis, wake up.
Sis... Move it, new guy.
Wake up, fatso.
Sis, come here.
News on E-sports daily.
They released it this morning.
What the...
Easy, Macha.
It's expensive.
It doesn't suit you, man.
You are too cheap.
You took funding worth 15 million from Awasthi Capital?
Awasthi Capital, as in Aravind Awasthi.
As in Ishaan Awasthi's dad.
Look,
we have been negotiating with Awasthi Capital for a very long time now.
You have no idea how important this deal is for us.
We have branches in India
but with the money pumped in by Awasthi Capital,
we are going to go international baby!
I don't give a shit, Dhiraj!
You used us!
You used me again.
You knew about the beef between our teams
and that is exactly why you reached out to us.
Because you knew
that Ishaan would do anything to destroy Gamerlog.
Including investing in your stupid bloody gaming VR company.
Stupid?
Grow up, Mahesh.
You think Awasthi Capital invested in my company on purpose
so that they can cancel Gamerlog's sponsorship?
Sure, that is true.
But along with that,
they also understood my vision.
Do you know why?
Because they believed in me.
Because everybody wants to ride the D-train!
You want to say that again?
So this, setting things straight and all that
was just bullshit, huh?
Tell me? Tell me!
Let go of me, you ...
What did you just say?
I completely forgot that
you haven't told your team about your sexuality.
Looks like your best kept secret
is not a secret anymore.
Tough guy Macha
is the gay in the Gamerlog.
-Screw you, man. -Oh, you wish!
You... You were right.
You are a complete D.
And I have never seen a bigger D than you in my whole life.
Hey, why are you complimenting him? Insult him!
I am getting there.
You think you are all that?
VR is the future of gaming, right?
I will set your future now.
Jo, can you say that 'hell line' you always say?
Give him hell boys.
Har Har Mahadev!
I will mess up your shit! Loser!
Hey dickhead, he might be a ...
but he is our favourite ...
-And if you ever call him again... -Jaggi, Jaggi.
I appreciate the emotion but stop using that word.
-Sorry. -Okay?
Man, Saurabh,
you totally drowned that Dhiraj!
Guys, thanks for having my back.
Are you crazy, Macha?
What else are roommates for?
Come here, dude.
Come here.
That is enough, I can't breathe.
Okay, okay, thanks.
Seriously though, Macha.
How come you didn't tell us sooner?
I was scared, Jo.
There is still some homophobia
prevailing in the gaming community, you know?
And I didn't want to risk losing the only family I have.
Joanna?
What will we do about the money now?
And what about that Alex?
Great job.
Hey.
Why were you so quiet?
When?
In that idiot's studio when we were screwing him.
Joanna darling,
you promised me that I would get the money today, didn't you?
But I just checked my bank account,
my net worth remains unchanged.
What else could I do, Jaggi?
What was the point of doing all that?
The team is still exactly where it was.
Jojo ma'am discovered me from a small village in Jalandhar.
I left my family the same night
thinking that I will come to Bombay and play games.
I promised my dad that when I make money, I will bring them all here,
so that I can live with them.
And what happened?
It's all going to waste.
It's been 18 months Jaggi, 1 and a half years,
I still haven't gotten a raise.
Without a sponsorship, we can't take part in TOC.
And what is the point of all this without TOC?
It's been months since I've spoken to my dad, Jaggi.
It's been three months since I've even spoken to mom, I can't do this anymore.
You know, I wasn't lying.
I really did have faith in you.
But I don't anymore.
I had to do this.
But on the brighter side,
I didn't touch your apartment.
You owe me one.
I will be back.
Okay, bye.
Where is all the stuff, man?
Fuck.
Hello?
I am in.
Laal Saand.
Welcome to the winning team.
